The Thunder Rock Crocodile Turtle led the group to the edge of a stone pool.
It said in a low, rumbling voice, "A lot of guys wanted to eat me in the past. But then I escaped to this place, got struck by lightning every day, and quickly broke through to the next Realm. Once I became Fifth Grade, I went back and ate them all."
Tang Wen patted the turtle's shell.
'It doesn't hold a grudge. It just turns its enemies into nutrients.'
The conflicts between Exotic Beasts were far more primal than those between humans.
"I've seen a Peak of Sixth Grade Black-eyed Snake a few times when I came here to drink. It should live somewhere near this deep pool."
"Why didn't you eat it?"
The Crocodile Turtle's tone was flat. "Couldn't catch it. Besides, it smells of Dream Demon Flower. Eating it gives you nightmares, and you can't sleep well."
Tang Wen didn't know much about the Black-eyed Snake.
But from the sound of it, the species had made itself toxic so others wouldn't dare to eat it.
